How large pull requests can exacerbate complexity and slow down development
One of the fundamental challenges in software engineering is managing and minimizing complexity. This challenge is not just a theoretical concern; it has real and tangible impacts on the pace of development.
How bacteria store and pass on memories to offspring using iron levels
AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists have discovered that bacteria can create something like memories about when to form strategies that can cause dangerous
Unveiling the vital role of glial cells in the gut's 'second brain'
Sitting alongside the neurons in your enteric nervous system are underappreciated glial cells, which play key roles in digestion and disease that scientists are only just starting to understand.
The shifting ownership of AI development from academia to industry
The most powerful companies in the world are shaping what artificial intelligence will become—but they’ll never get it right without the ethos and values of university scientists.
Cheap credit twists the market and leads to inflation in the longer term. They knew exactly what they were doing but they did it anyway.
A "comprehensive investigation" into the loss of a tiny radioactive capsule, which sparked a frantic search in WA's outback and an unprecedented public health warning, concludes without any charges being laid or fines issued.
They're great, rugged connectors. But they're even more annoying to align than USB in my experience.
There are some pretty wild takes here. I fully support his freedom to code in whatever style he wants to but a few of these are very un-idiomatic and will make it harder for anyone else to understand his code. eg. I do see some older C code which uses custom names for the standard integer types, but most of it's trying to solve legacy windows portability annoyances, not just redefine the world for the sake of personal taste. I'd hope that modern code wouldn't do that. He might like it but it just increases friction for anyone else working on his code.
There are some poorly thought out takes too: "const doesn't help with optimisation so I don't use it". const isn't there for optimisation, it's there to expose bugs in memory handling. This is basically a statement that he refuses to use best practices for avoiding bugs.
Is Fortnite still active and popular? I haven't heard much about it for a long time.
